How do I get into this series? Um, it's as easy as IMing "Achariya Maktoum" in-world and having something to say about content theft written up in a notecard. Then, you have to wait until I am not feeding or playing with my toddler to get your photo taken. Pretentious and elite, no? *g*

Roslin Petion: My business partner and I have experienced content theft and I know first hand how disheartening that experience can be. I also know about the difficulties in communicating with Linden Labs and getting something done about a theft. Nobody agrees on every point about content theft and ip issues. I know that I personally have moments where I'm conflicted about just where the lines should be drawn. After all, Second Life is a part of a new frontier both legally and ethically. What I do think we all can agree on is that there needs to be much more constructive discussion taking place between all of us; content creators, residents, and Linden Labs. We must come together and find a common ground on which to lay a strong foundation now or we risk squandering the potential of Second Life.

Ellantha Larsson: Here's my two cents: just don't do it, mmkay? Just say no to drug.... er.. copybotting! And buy yer friend's shit. That is all. XD

Welcome to Achariya.net!

Hi! I'm Achariya Maktoum, and I've been blogging in Second Life since 2007. I write about men's clothing and women's clothing, as well as interesting places to go. If you have a tip on a cool location (or if you just want to say hi), please feel free to IM me in-world.
